There was a moment, quite some time ago, when recreational became fresh, blurred turned into spontaneous, negligible developed into sophisticated and raw was natural all of a sudden. We were abruptly ready to send professionals back home and those who thought that wouldn't last had to change their minds since we are still there, clumsy and proud. Our tastes have been educated and sharpened by masterpieces by Terry Richardson or Juergen Teller, and it was inevitable that sooner or later the braver and more self-confident between us (who if not our beloved models then) would turn the "I could have done it too" harmless philosophy into practice.

It's all part of the aesthetic of the unusual, that also brought pretty unconventional models to the footlights. I'm not complaining though: Chloe Memisevic and Rory Mckee are my current favorite couple in the system, more beautiful than ever now that they're together.
